let the countdown begin!

suffering from ocd - obsessive cullen disorder

this is the reason why i have been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks. i am hooked on the twilight saga. or addicted, as my boyfriend likes to describe it.

i actually didn't plan on reading the twilight saga. even if most of my friends were hooked on it when it first came out, i didn't plan on reading it coz in all honesty, vampires didn't really appeal to me. but when i came across the books on ebay, which were selling for a mere Php 1,000 for all four books, i thought, what the hell, might as well see what the fuss was all about.

2 weeks and four and a half books later, i am completely sold on the whole cullen universe. i just can't seem to put it down! i keep reading and re-reading the whole series, and i even downloaded the outtakes and first few chapters of the foiled midnight sun from stephenie meyer's website. i just can't get enough of edward and bella!

though the series wasn't perfect (as the case of breaking dawn), i was amazed at how stephenie was able to let us imagine and fantasize about her whole fictional universe. the series made me wish i was bella and that edward was real. i envy at how stephenie was able to make this all possible.

but now that the whole series is done, midnight sun is on hold, i am now looking forward to my next cullen fix- the twilight movie coming out in november! i can't wait.

it's all about the drama

friends have come from afar, how happy we are.

i am drying my tears as i write this entry. because i had just finished watching the opening ceremonies of the 2008 beijing olympics. i guess i was so moved by the theatrics of the whole thing--guys running up and down the wall of the bird's nest and everything. ron still couldn't understand why i'm making this event such a big deal. i just told him: "who doesn't love a big production number?"

the whole olympics fever is all over our office. probably because our network has the exclusive rights for the coverage and everyone is busy doing olympics-related inspirational plugs and stuff. well, except our team, because we're pretty much preoccupied with our season premiere next month. but that doesn't mean i'm not looking forward to the following:

michael phelps. i think he's hot.
not just because he has killer abs and shoulder blades,
but because he was named the fastest man on water.
now how cool is that?


synchronized swimming.
i love ballet and i love the water.
and synchronized swimming is, ballet on water.
need i say more?


rhythmic gymnastics.
i wonder how these girls manage not to get tangled in all that ribbon.
and i always marvel at the grace and beauty these gymnasts have.
plus it reminds me (again) of ballet.

ah yes. the beauty of sports. too bad my folks didn't encourage me to pursue a sport (and pushed ballet instead). i would have loved to train and be an olympian.

on second thought, athletes always have to wake up insanely early to train...so maybe not. i'll just leave the physical stuff to the pros and just stick to watching them. i can't wait.
